EQ crashing

[Keldjor]

During Login game freezes up.
Random crashing while zoning.
Zone freezing till game times out and boots me to login

This is done w/ my regular EQ install with enhanced graphic installs.
AND a completely NEW clean install w/ only P99 required files installed


This all started after the other days fiasco w/ the servers not showing up.

Same here started today... I even uninstalled and did a fresh install. No matter what I freeze either logging in or first time I zone.

Same problem

+1, don't think it has anything to do with windows defender though. Haven't updated that in years.

This is getting ridicules, getting to the point of unplayable.

Can't zone w/o crashing, Empty char select screens, chars not loading, Login error - DB error - Invalid password, crashing after camping, freezing after Enter world after selecting char

Anyone found a fix for this yet? It started for me yesterday and is very aggravating to almost unplayable unless i stay in one zone

Presumably you have tried putting the game into XP SP2 (or 3 whatever) compatibility mode?

If not goto the games folder and right click the EQ exe file and goto properties and there will be tab for compatibility mode which you can switch to the above. This resolves a fair few bugs.

If not then try WinEQ2. That solved lots of problems for me, you can make a free account with the people who make it and use the windowed version free.

Hopkins - On mine those settings were done a long time ago. This just randmomly started happening. I play alot Tuesday, didnt play Wednesday and then tried to play last night and this started happening.
I will change the settings on my fresh install and see what that does.

Never used WInEQ so cannot comment on that.

Ive ran every compatibility options on both my installs, graphic enhanced and clean install. Still getting lock ups and crashes.

None of this was happened till the Server black out afew days ago, I had NO issues till then with anything.

This is happening to apparently a lot of ppl, so has to be on the server end.
